Measure. Innovate. Lead.
About us
We are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. For more than a century, NIST has helped to keep U.S. technology at the leading edge. Our measurements support the smallest of technologies to the largest and most complex of human-made creations. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. See what innovative work we’re doing to support it: https://www.nist.gov/

Ever-rising levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are heating the planet, amplifying heat waves, and raising sea levels. Managing these troublesome gases has become an international priority. But first we need to accurately measure them. Scientists measure greenhouse gases using light. Each type of gas molecule absorbs specific colors of light, giving it a unique “fingerprint.” By analyzing light that has interacted with the molecules — a technique called spectroscopy — it’s possible to spot these fingerprints and determine how much of each gas is in the atmosphere. These measurements ultimately tell governments and companies where to focus efforts aimed at reining in these planet-warming molecules.

Time is no longer what it used to be! Scientists have built an atomic clock so precise, it can actually detect tiny distortions in the fabric of space and time itself. This new timekeeping device uses lasers to trap and measure thousands of individual atoms. By illuminating the atoms with visible light instead of microwaves, it can measure the second with unprecedented accuracy - barely losing 1 second every 30 billion years! The clock is so sensitive that just raising or lowering it by the width of a human hair is enough to perceive changes in the flow of time caused by gravity warping the space around it. For the first time ever, we can begin to experimentally explore the intersection of quantum physics and Einstein's theory of relativity on microscopic scales. This clock is unlocking new frontiers in our understanding of the universe! Learn more in our latest news story: https://lnkd.in/g2a7Kb5e #Physics #Quantum #Time #Frequency

One of the most important things a NIST intern learned last summer is that science is all about persistence. When George Sellers faced challenges in the lab, he sometimes got frustrated. But George’s mentor taught him to be comfortable with uncertainty as part of the scientific process. It’s one of many important lessons George learned during his internship. Learn more about his story – and our internship offerings – in our latest Taking Measure blog post: https://lnkd.in/g6W45R-k #Science #Bioscience #Health #Immunology #LessonsLearned

Tornadoes are destructive, and not just because of high windspeed. The unique qualities of tornadic winds make them more likely to peel roofs off houses or kick debris missiles up into the air. In this clip, NIST researcher Marc Levitan explains what makes tornadic wind so disastrously different. Learn more about how Marc and his colleagues are figuring out how to design buildings to keep people safe from tornadoes and bringing those findings into building codes: https://lnkd.in/e_BC_DE6 #Infrastructure #Buildings #Standards #Materials

How much THC is in that cannabis product? NIST’s new hemp reference material will help labs accurately measure THC, CBD and toxic elements in cannabis plant products. This will help forensic labs distinguish between hemp and marijuana, and it will help ensure that consumer products are safe and accurately labeled.

She is the Statue of Liberty, the Mother of Exiles, the Lady with the Lamp, Lady Liberty, and more formally, Liberty Enlightening the World. For immigrants arriving through New York in the late 1800s to early 1900s, she was the first thing they saw. When the statute arrived in the U.S., she was in separate pieces. U.S. engineers at the time assembled the statue together in such a way as to prevent corrosion. In 1981, the National Park Service started a restoration process on Lady Liberty and sent pieces of the iron framework to NIST for analysis. Researchers discovered that corrosion had occurred and recommended replacing most of the framework within the statue. Learn more about the process and how the Statue of Liberty was restored back to her full glory: https://lnkd.in/evzYQh3D #IndependenceDay #Materials #Metals

Have you heard of microcombs? They’re chip-scale devices that generate and measure frequencies of light with utmost accuracy and are used in timekeeping and optical communications. But they operate within a limited wavelength of light (near-infrared), which is usually used in telecommunications. Now, NIST researchers and their colleagues have developed a new way of extending that range to even shorter wavelengths. The shorter wavelengths generated by the microcomb could enable scientists to take clearer images of biological and biomedical samples.
